Link to the video. It's even better with sound, especially the way the cat says thanks.

[–]clayides 8 points9 points ago

Don't have opposable thumbs? Guess I'll have to find my own.

[–]percyhiggenbottom 5 points6 points ago

I've seen other videos, this cat can open the boxes on it's own, but if the owner's present he makes her do it

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

Where is my human slave? Ah, there you are.

[–]mad_maxx17 8 points9 points ago

That's a really smart cat. That's probably the only reason cats don't take over the world completely. They need our thumbs.

[–]velkyr 3 points4 points ago

Thing is, they have machines to harvest our thumbs. The problem is, you need a thumb in order to activate it.

So just hope some redditor doesn't get sucked into the feline master plan to harvest our thumbs and rule the world.

this was on my front page a few days ago. for future reference, i'd wait a few weeks before reposting. EDIT: original post from 2 days ago

[–]jeffarei 12 points13 points ago

i think it's safe to repost sooner than that... after all, the Internet's attention span is

[–]VelociraptorFetus 4 points5 points ago

IS WHAT?! THE INTERNET'S ATTENTION SPAN IS WHAT?!

[–]Zoned 1 point2 points ago

Squirrel!

[–]ngtstkr 2 points3 points ago

It's not a repost. You're from the future and traveled back in time a few days. Today is our today and your few days ago.

[–]MuddyVibrams 1 point2 points ago

But, if he didn't repost it, I would have never seen it!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Not necessary, cat.

[–]bitch_im_a_lion -3 points-2 points ago

Was it posted in /r/gifs, /r/aww or /r/funny ? Depending on that this may simply be a cross post which is acceptble. If it was on /r/funny then yeah, call OP out on it.

[–]lickthecowhappy 2 points3 points ago

Aaah. An example of cats using tools.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

IT'S LEARNING ANGELA! IT'S LEARNING! RUN!

[–]Berkbelts 2 points3 points ago

On a more serious note. The other day I saw a video of a cat that learned if it slammed against its food dispenser it would dispense food. And now I see this gif of the cat using the human as a "tool." Isn't tool use often associated with higher forms of intelligence? I know crows and monkeys use tools and they are considered relatively intelligent.

[–]xine302 1 point2 points ago

omg they learned how to use tools.....

[–]sachegrande 1 point2 points ago

I'm pretty impressed how much karma you get for all these reposts.

[–]KendallMang 5 points6 points ago

Makes me wonder what this cat would accomplish if it found a random, detached hand somewhere.

[–]lars_overdale 0 points1 point ago

It really looks like that cat is wearing glasses.

[–]wayne_Adama 0 points1 point ago

genius cat...

[–]TickleToeJo 0 points1 point ago

Why is this so fucking cute.

[–]Throwawaychica 0 points1 point ago

Not a huge cat fan, but this is pretty awesome.

[–]Qqxam 0 points1 point ago

......that looks like it hurts....

[–]_pumpkinpies -3 points-2 points ago

A repost from two days ago with a title that's less funny than the original. With 300+ upvotes.

I am disappoint Reddit. :(

(different subreddit, but it was still on the frontpage)

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

Well I missed the first one as I miss a lot of posts. So I am not disappoint Reddit :)

[–]Trippnbilliez 2 points3 points ago

Yeah I haven't seen this either and I'm on r/funny A LOT. everything is a repost. We get it.

[–]_pumpkinpies 0 points1 point ago

Yea, I was just being acranky redditor. I don't really mind reposts that much, I just feel like I saw this one less than a day ago (even though it was actually 2)

[–]bitch_im_a_lion -1 points0 points ago

It's a cross post then. It's more acceptable than a repost because there are many subscribers to /r/funny that aren't subscribed to r/gifs. Had this not been posted to r/funny, I wouldn't have seen it because I'm not subbed to r/gifs.

[–]_pumpkinpies 1 point2 points ago*

I guess you're right. After browsing on my front page for a while I'll usually move over to r/all though, I suppose I just assumed most people did.

Edit: Also, I mostly just think the crosspost should have been acknowledged as one
